  2. Outline • Current Energy Scenario in India • India’s Installed Generation Capacity • Demand Supply Gap • Energy Deficits • Way forward • Why Renewable Energy? • Sources of Renewable Energy • Aspects of Renewable Energy • Regulatory Support for Renewable Energy • Why Energy Efficiency? • Modes of Energy Efficiency • Scope of Energy Efficiency • Regulatory Support for Energy Efficiency • Documentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF49K2bzK2U) • Role you can Play!!

  3. Background • India has world’s 5th largest installed electricity capacity • India is the 4th largest energy consumer in the world after the United States, China, and Russia. • Energy demand is growing at an average of 3.6 percent per annum • Energy conservation potential has been assessed as 23 percent, nearly 25,000 MW • A 2012 report by the IEA estimated that nearly 25 percent of the population lacks basic access to electricity, while electrified areas suffer from rolling electricity blackouts. • Of the 1.4 billion people of the world who have no access to electricity in the world, India accounts for over 300 million.

  7. Way Forward

  8. Way Forward

  9. Renewable Energy

  10. Why Renewable Energy? • Power Shortage • Rising Prices • Environmental Concerns • Depleting Conventional Resources • Abundance of Renewable Resources • Sustainability

  11. Renewable Energy • Any sustainable energy source that comes from natural environment. • Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat.

  12. Major Renewable Energy Sources • Solar Energy • Wind Energy • Hydro Energy • Geothermal Energy • Biomass

  13. Aspects of Renewable Energy • It exists perpetually and in abundant in the environment • Ready to be harnessed, inexhaustible • It is a clean alternative of fossil fuels • Energy that is derived from natural process that are replenished constantly

  14. Regulatory Support for Renewable Energy Development Electricity Act, 2003 • Promoted generation of electricity from renewable sources National Electricity Policy, 2005 • The Policy emphasized on the full development of feasible hydro projects and Laid down procedures for the speedy implementation of the same Integrated Energy Policy, 2006 • Emphasized use of Renewables for reducing dependence on energy imports Rural Electrification Policy, 2006 • The Policy recognized that non-conventional energy sources can be appropriately and optimally utilized to make available reliable supply of electricity to each and every household

  15. Energy Efficiency

  16. Why Energy Efficiency? • Convenient solution to bridge the gap between demand and supply • Reduce capital investment in fuel, mining, transport, water and land required for power generation • Ensure sustainable growth of country One Unit of energy saved, avoids three units of fresh capacity addition

  17. Energy Efficiency • Energy Efficiency involves efficient utilisation of resources, which is a key to sustainable development • Improving energy efficiency increases productivity, significantly reduces the green house gas emissions

  18. Modes of Energy efficiency • Demand Side Management • Standard and Labelling • Energy Audits • Awareness and Practice

  19. Scope of Energy Efficiency

  20. Regulatory Support for Energy efficiency Development • Energy Conservation Act, 2001 • Established BEE, State designated consumers and funds to promote Energy Efficiency • Energy Conservation Building Code • sets minimum energy standards for new commercial buildings having a connected load of 100kW or contract demand of 120kVA • National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency • The National Action Plan on Climate Change was released in June 2008. It outlines 8 Missions including National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE).
